Monson Trash/Recycling Guidelines
Please ensure that your trash and recycling are placed at the curb by 7:00am on your scheduled service day and that recycling has been separated in two bins; one for cardboard and paper and one for plastics and bottles. Weekly curbside trash collections per home is limited to the equivalent of (1) 35 gallon barrel or 5 bags. Occasionally, especially during weather events, it is possible for drivers to miss picking up your trash or recycling that has been placed at the curb on its scheduled day. If your trash or recycling was not picked up as scheduled or you have a service issue please call Republic Services.
